That is true. However The Conservatives have a lot of satellite companies run by politicians. There are some fairly well known ones even though it's not obvious they are run by party members.

It's not about an energy apocalypse at all. It's about the cost versus benefit when the principal cost on large scale deployments is energy. AI stuff takes a lot of energy to run therefore costs a lot of money to run therefore req

Hammer meet screw. Companies House is already a large graph of companies and ownerships. You can do this with naive methods easier.

I disagree. I have a bet they will kill the console market dead by 2029. Most of the games run on off the shelf tech now which has Metal back ends. The hardware is rapidly evolving in capability since 2020. The Pro devices now are quite pow

You can take it to bits fine. But is there a supply chain of parts?

> I have no idea why the EU isn't going after Microsoft with a heavy club for all the crap they're pulling lately. Did someone get a O365 license reduction or a nice dinner out. MS rep used to take me out to dinner in the 90s

Microsoft bundle edge still and it can't be removed, even in windows 11 LTSC. Constant nagging if you don't accept O365/OneDrive unless you eviscerate the machine thoroughly or use a cracked LTSC build. As for Apple, no. Lite

Not by saying "no" you can't. You have to fuck around with shift+F10 and oobe stuff. This was tested on 23H2 yesterday.

5G was a fun one. When they built the 5G tower near me they didn't put any equipment in it. People complained about it at local planning meeting saying that it was giving them migraines, then someone burned it down. I moved and I have

Well it would require more data which is the problem, and something I outlined elsewhere. Is she the only person complaining? The case is put forward as if that is the case. If that is the case then there is little evidence to discard the n

Yeah this is not within the realms of even an 0.1% confidence interval. Indistinguishable from chance. Hypothesis should be investigated and then discarded! That doesn't make a good headline though.

This is in line of when I worked in a semiconductor lab in suburban UK in the 90s. We had a couple of local residents report problems immediately even though we hadn't even started fabrication at that point. They eventually sent out a

It's not corruption. It's naive legislation written by idiots and complex HS code manipulation.

One of the many reasons. The biggest reason the last place I worked at that did manufacturing was that there were import tariffs on components but not assemblies so they just built the assemblies in China.

While I don't doubt the facts and EPA analysis around the case and the measurements, how many other local residents reported this and are fighting it?

The latter makes its way into products occasionally. Which helps the customer. A lot of the stuff I use comes from research not a product team.

So your approach and the author’s is to dumb a technical measure down to a level where the observer doesn’t need to understand what they are looking at. Well that explains the entire data visualisation and dashboard consultancy nicely. How

Nope. I'm not one to appeal to authority either which is why I am making objective arguments about what is presented. And yes he should go on a stats course. I dread to think the chaos he’s spread to people who don’t know better.

Oh I know the author. Just because you’re high profile in the data viz industry doesn’t mean you should be commenting on statistics especially with such a clear misunderstanding going on. Some of us are definitely more qualified to speak on
